Xbox Series X and Series S: $499 and $299 - November 10th Launch
- Thread starter iceberg_is_on_fire
- Start date
I want to be sure that it provides a much better 3rd party gaming experience
if the difference is marginal then it’s not worth getting this and a PS5 imo

No one here is thinking this is the series x. Were very aware this is a next gen xbox targeting 1080p resolution.
At the end of the day it's still a next gen xbox at 300$. It will still play the next halo/gears/fable etc.

not really , specially during this time most people aren’t working . This was a smart move by them .
if you want to pick both consoles up , that’s a great option

so is Series S like a digital version?
I was hoping for 400 for maximum pressure on Sony (and fukkery
), but this is solid. The S is perfect for the brokish, and the Walmart "I can't tell the difference" crowd.
And after a few price drops, Court

Or....maybe people don't make as much money as you.
I know it's hard to believe because you feel like you're broke at times (or at least you know you're not a mega millionaire
).....but some people really are out here struggling. And I mean BAD, breh. They don't even have to be bums...they could have lost their job and really can't find shyt to replace it. Or can't return back to work because they have one of those mythical underlying conditions that could kill them if they caught the Covid. They probably stuck in the house like a lot of people still looking at the new consoles like
Privilege can be a hard thing to identify from within.
You sound privileged.

If you just play major AAA multiplats and whatever AA or Indie game is hot at the moment (Stardew Valley, Goose Game, Hollow Knight, etc.) then I see no issue with getting a Series X over a PS5.It will probaby be a better value for you given the specs and Game Pass. And let's be honest, there are a lot of gamers like that.
It's not about to outsell the PS5 though.
I don't know if I'll get Lockhart on launch, I'm still thinking about the New Switch rumoured for Jan or next year. But it's a strong consider I might put down for the SS for 3rd party until their first party start dropping in.

I agree, but there are indeed some people who don't have their priorities straight as well. Both you and the guy you quoted are right to a degree.
Yes, with a weaker version of the GPU to target 1080 instead of 4K

how much stronger is it than XB1 though?
We won't know until we get more info on the S. Digital Foundry will probably let us know as soon as MS lets the press in.
